The Town of Amherst, Nova Scotia, is hosting a variety of local events and activities for families to enjoy during March Break 2026. These organized programs run from March 15 to March 22, 2026, and are designed to give children and youth things to do close to home while school is out.
The town is working with several local groups to offer these options, including the Four Fathers Memorial Library, the YMCA of Cumberland, and Maggie’s Place Family Resource Centre. Other partners involved in the week-long program include the Anchor Youth Space and the Amherst Curling Club, providing a range of entertainment from Lego sessions to youth-focused drop-in events.
For those looking to get active, the Amherst Stadium is a key part of the festivities with public skating sessions available. Residents planning to hit the ice should remember that all participants must wear helmets for any skating activities at the stadium. This safety requirement applies to everyone on the ice throughout the break.
The goal of the program is to provide affordable and accessible entertainment for the community by using local hubs like the library and the YMCA. By bringing these activities together into one list, the town helps families find constructive ways to spend their time together without having to travel far.
